In this case, maybe a wiki page could serve as the central reference for who is on what and what is open where, along with status. Like this: http://linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ProjectStatus As for the traffic volume, a simple project ID tag in the subject line could work well. Subject: [PRJ003] ACME detonating USB connector Then people could jump on the open items in the project status page from each according to ability, to each according to, well, ability I suppose! In any case, once projects are up and running I think a lot of traffic will go off-list. Incidentally, I'm on this list because I volunteered for marketing tasks (if any) way back in the stone age of this project, and for project management when Greg asked for it. If there's a dev out there who would like an interface to a device vendor or a bit of thinking about how to structure/proceed, shout something in my general direction. JA
